The way we can preserve water quality and availability in our city is to use it responsibly at all times.
A more sustainable option for providing fresh drinking water is to adopt a water conservation approach. The city of Cape Town has aimed to reduce water use and water wastage by 20% by 2020. Therefore, the municipality encourages all people to understand water scarcity, protect water resources, and practise responsible water use to make sure that enough clean water is available for all in years to come.
The only way to do this is if communities become responsible for their usage and promote responsible water usage among them in order to save money and sustain water reserves for all.
